The Obamas Recruit Moms of Celebrities To Pitch Heathcare

President Barack Obama is getting a little help from celebrity moms in his latest effort to lure young people to enroll in Obamacare.

The president, who recently received both praise and criticism for an appearance on a funnyordie.com comedy segment meant to promote his health care law, is using the good old fashion guilt trip (in video form) to get young people over to Healthcare.gov.

The nearly 2 minute video posted on YouTube that pushes the hashtag #YourMomCares features appearances by the mothers of Adam Levine, Jonah Hill, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez and First Mom Michelle Obama.

The women share stories about their children before talking about the woes of having no health insurance.
